File-In this Wednesday, May 15, 2013, Illinois Rep. Bill Mitchell, R-Decatur, argues legislation while on the House floor during session in Springfield, Ill. Mitchell says the central Illinois community would be a prime spot for Boeing to build its new 400-seat 777X jetliner. Boeing is looking at a $7 billion to $10 billion plant that would start with 3,250 workers in 2018, and grow to 8,500 by 2024 and Mitchell is encouraging them to look at Decatur, Ill.
